In Anacortes, working at the fish hatchery, Doris met the owner’s son and they fell in love. Doris and H.A. (Alex) MacDonald were married September 5, 1946. Together they raised a son and daughter, were foster parents, farmers, active in their community, and dedicated to their church, Lake Stevens Assembly of God. Doris also served as an activities director for Warm Beach Manor for 14 years. In her free time, Doris played the piano, organ, accordion, directed a bell choir, and sang with the Everett Chorale.

The most important relationship in Doris’ life was the one with Jesus. She loved the Lord with all of her heart, mind, and soul.

“Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony…and this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life eternally.”

1John 5:10-12
